Hi
Spring is just around the corner and that means the bright colors of flowers and new growth on our wonderful trees. I know the trees in our yard have really exploded with new leaves and
growth.
With all this new growth and color, you might think about turning your sprinklers back on (you did turn them off since it's been mostly cool and we have had at least some rain, right?). Be careful! The State has extended our drought restrictions and we need to continue to conserve. The latest report from Golden State Water indicates that our usage is increasing again. This could lead to greater restrictions and or outright rationing. Please be water wise and continue your conservation efforts.
Female Symposium next week Remember the Seal Beach Chamber's Female Symposium is coming up on March 8th from 5:00-8:00 p.m. and is being organized by Rossmoor's own
Marah Fineberg-Kuck. Event details are below.
Advisory: Invasive Mosquitoes Are Back Please be on the look out for invasive mosquitoes that bite during the day and take proper precautions. Details below.

Generally our largest crime challenge is as Rossmoor residents, we leave our vehicles and windows open and unlocked.
The latest report shows 75% of the thefts were crimes of opportunity where vehicles and house doors were
left open or unlocked.
Be smart, lock your vehicles and doors at your home and do not leave any valuables in your vehicles (especially visible to would be thieves).
Please lock your vehicle doors and windows!

Invasive Mosquitoes in
County |
The rains and warm weather have provided many new breeding grounds for the invasive mosquitoes we first saw here in Rossmoor back in October
PLEASE do the following: - CALL AND REPORT (714.971.2421) if you see any small, black and
white mosquitoes or if you are bitten by mosquitoes during the day!

- Remove any water dishes from beneath potted plants and drill drain holes in all decorative flower pots
- Dump and drain any standing water around the home
- Use a rag and bleach to wipe down the containers thoroughly to remove any eggs
- Do
not store water in uncovered buckets or rain Ensure rain barrels are completely sealed to prevent mosquitoes from entering.
- Empty bird baths and small fountains completely or clean them thoroughly every 3 days
- Clean out rain gutters and lawn drains to ensure water does not collect

We are continuing to hear about coyote sightings, especially in the north end of Rossmoor. Many of these sightings have been during the mid-day. Please be careful with your pets (keep them indoors or within your sight).
The RCSD, RHA, along with state and county agencies are working together on a plan for Rossmoor. Details will be available in the next few weeks and we will be seeking your help in creating solutions. Be on the look out for
more information.
Additionally, report any sightings to the Rossmoor Community Service District at 562.430.3707 or rcsd@rossmoor-csd.org with your name, address, phone number, time and date of the sighting, along with a brief description.

Rossmoor resident Bernie Beskind coordinates the weekly Rossmoor Walk & Talk meeting at Rush Park on Tuesday mornings at 10:30.
That is unless it's raining, then there's no walk.
The program is simple enough, whoever attends forms groups of 2-4 people and walk around Rush Park and they talk. How long they walk, how fast they walk, and what they talk about is up to them. If you need a topic to talk about, Bernie will be happy to help you out. It's a real Win-Win Bernie's idea creates an informal way to meet your neighbors and get some exercise at the same time. It could save or at least extend your life, plus you'll get to meet some really great people. And that is a huge win-win. Come join us! The Rossmoor Walk & Talk is open to all ages. The more the merrier - Invite your friends and please spread the word. Rossmoor Walk & Talk meets are held every Tuesday at 10:30 AM at Rush Park. If you have questions, please email Bernie (BernieB_90720@yahoo.com), or come see him on Tuesdays at 10:30 at Rush Park. Bernie will be the energetic guy with glasses, short hair, long in years and walking slowly. |
